Thanks Adam and Bart for answering. I just read the sparcv9 and powerpc manual, it seems that the ASI and ASI field in load/store instruction (may be also the register window) are unique in SPARC and I did not find any similar mechanism in powerpc (either 32-bit or 64-bit).
How much physical memory kernel can access if in a traditional 3G/1G split? I know if kernel AS is direct mapping, it is just 1G. How much physical memory does Solaris x86 support currently? Thanks again. Noah This message posted from opensolaris.org
